Nor as born and raised in Virginia. She always knew she wanted to work with animals since she was a child. She first started in the veterinary field at an emergency hospital back in 2014, and loved every minute of it. Helping patients recover and seeing them go back home is an indescribable feeling. She switched it up and went to general practice to gain more knowledge about general patient care and prevention. When she is not working she am a full time mother to an amazing 6 year old boy named Anthony. They enjoy their free time by spending time outside, going hiking, riding bikes and playing with their pit bull mix Chola. Anthony is growing up to love animals just like his mom, and carries his hamster Oso everywhere.
